PSP About Elminage/Wizardry

[YakisobaSteak]

Yeah, I never seen anyone talk about it (In so long if that's the case), But I found out about it during my Usual Dives at cdromance.com (God Bless their heart), and I found it while I think I was under some stuff of the PSP, I can't remember exactly, but it was either Before or After I downloaded 《Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep - Final Mix》 And I found them, I downloaded them, Used FTPD (or whatever it's called), Played it on my (Modded) PSVITA, and It just plays as a Generic Dungeon Crawler Similar to the Later Series; Etrian Odyssey, But It is fun, But It's prolly one of those classic "Level up then fight the Demonic Force" Type of Games (Kinda like Etrian Odyssey).

I am gonna post a YouTube video of it soon, But I wanted to talk about it here for a bit, lulz.

Link to all the Games:

Elminage Original

Elminage II: Sousei no Megami to Unmei no Daichi

Elminage III: Ankoku no Shito to Taiyou no Kyuuden

Elminage Gothic: Ulm Zakir to Yami no Gishiki

I love Wizardry although I'm not real big on FP rpgs. But the first 2 games were fun.

I tried getting into Elminage, but that's a level of obtuse game mechanics I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out.

Eh, To each their own, Y'know? Lulz

I mean Etrian Odyssey is known to be inspired by Wizardry, and the series has overall had a considerably broader cultural impact in Japan than some clones on the DS. That said, I absolutely love those DS clones.

I was surprised to know that Elminage had a 3DS port too, As I had thought it was on PS2 and PSP, not on the 3DS (and DS for that Matter)

Elminage is pretty great, if you like Wizardry-style games. Start out with Original, and not Gothic if you are new to the genre, it's gentler and simpler. Original has a really fun mechanic where you have a team of adversaries that level up alongside you and show up in dungeons to meddle with you.

Another really good couple of starter games are Undernauts: Labyrinth of Yomi and Labyrinth of Refrain. Refrain is kind of an oddball, but totally worth playing.

Holy Crap, I think I'm getting more games that I should talk about in a YouTube video than I thought..... Honestly I just wish the Other Elminage/Wizardry Game(s) were English Translated (Other than Elminage Original), Since It was some what difficult with my basic Knowledge Of Japanese to Play it, but It just operates the same for each game (as far as I could tell), It controls like an Original Shin Megami Tensei game (Or Etrian Odyssey/Persona Q), lulz
